The Philadelphia Eagles face an offensive line shakeup ahead of the NFC Championship Game against the Washington Commanders, primarily due to a back injury sustained by Pro Bowl center Cam Jurgens. During a recent practice, Jurgens was absent, prompting the coaching staff to move All-Pro left guard Landon Dickerson to center, a position he excelled in during his college days at Alabama. Tyler Steen will then step in at left guard.
Despite the change, Dickerson remains optimistic, suggesting that Jurgens is just getting rest and should be ready for the game. Head coach Nick Sirianni has kept injury statuses ambiguous, but comments from both Dickerson and Steen indicate confidence in Jurgens' return.
Steen, who has filled various roles along the line and started games earlier in the season, has also expressed hope for Jurgens to play, recognizing the potential impact of his absence.
